I had the pleasure of doing a mini engagement session for Catherine & Jonathan over the (very frigid!) weekend. We started in Armory Square, Syracuse, where the happy couple met, and where Jonathan eventually dropped to his knee and proposed to Catherine! We ended the session at the beautiful Onondaga Lake Park. Despite the football playoffs being on and the extremely cold weather, Jonathan was a trooper. You know it's love if he will miss football for his sweetie.

When I think of Cathy, I always think high fashion and she definitely did not let me down with her exquisite taste in outerwear, the Mackenzie Childs umbrella, and Benji's blue coat!

I wish a lifetime of happiness and laughter for this beautiful couple. Enjoy, and feel free to comment below.

I had a lot of fun getting some pet practice with my lionhead rabbit, Vivienne. Little did I know, Vlad would go all "photoshoot crashers" on me--but that's one of the greatest parts about photographing pets--unpredictability!

Viv is the best kind of model, because she is adorable without trying. She is quick moving though--which made focusing on her a bit of a challenge.
